Chapter 1 The sealed deal Diana's POV

Romance movies are starting to get so predictable to me.

It's not like I did not know this but I can never just get enough of it.

I cannot just believe they did not have a happily ever after. What kind of romance movie is this?

I have just finished watching the last episode of my favorite TV show and I cannot believe the ending ruined whatever I loved about the movie for me. How could they kill him off after they have recently just found each other? I can't imagine myself in her shoes right now.

"Did you just see the ending of "My Love is Cupid?" I ask as I call my best friend, Laura.

She was quiet for a while and then she sniffed loudly. Something is wrong. She is crying. I have the perfect guess about where this came from, but I should actually be sure before I take action.

We are both die-hard fans of romance, and I especially hope to find my one true love someday and disappear from the rest of the world. It would be the best thing to ever happen to me.

Make no mistake, I have a father who adores me and I am a golden child. I have just graduated from the university at the top of my class and now, I am preparing for my master's degree program.

My love for romance has turned me into a couch potato for movies and books, and I don't even care if no one gets it, but fortunately, Kim does, and my dad too, so I don't care about the rest of the world.

I heard my dad come in from the front door and I rushed to meet him.

"Could you believe Damon died at the end of the movie?"

"Which movie?"

"The one I have been watching." He rolled his eyes, obviously lost as I fought the urge to laugh. Obviously, he was lost, and I perfectly understood how he could be.

"You have been watching a lot of movies love. I cannot follow."

"Ouch!" I Feign hurt as I take his bag from him and head into the living room. I bounced after hum while still daydreaming about what happened, momentarily forgetting all about Laura.

"You sound tired."

"I am tired. Work has been pretty demanding and I am sure if I don't get a raise and a promotion, I might have to start worrying about going bankrupt in the next couple of years.

"You don't have to worry about that, Dad. I will get a job as soon as I finish studying and make lots of money." It was the only thing I could promise my father. He has given everything to take care of me, and this was the point where I wished Mum never got sick.

My Mum was the daughter of a very wealthy old money family, but as soon as she became sick an in a coma, they withheld all my inheritance because they did not like the idea of my dad being in control of it. I was onl to get the inheritance when I got married.Things begann to get worse because my Dad had relied too much on my M,um and it affected him.

"I know, my child but I need something that would happen soon. You know, my darling, ever since your mum left us, I have wanted to give you the best in life and even you can attest to the fact that I have done my best to give you that."

I have a feeling he had something on his mind but something tells me that I am not going to like it, whatever it is.

My dad is no doubt the best in the world and after all he has done for me, I cannot wish for a better dad. I was only four when Mum got sick. She was sick and she needed to get better. She blamed her dad for everything that happened to her. How she used to be a star before she got pregnant with me and how she got sick right after giving birth and then she could not deal with it and left eventually. It was mental sickness and I hated the fact that there was nothing even the doctors could do about it.

We did not know what kind of sickness she had exactly but she could not be persuaded to say despite that she was about to leave her only daughter alone with a father who knew close to nothing about taking care of a kid. Her family had insisted it was for the best. She was flo out of the country and since then, I haven't heard a word from her.

"What are you thinking about, Dad?"

"If you are worried about money, I will go hunting for a job tomorrow, it would help us make more."

"Oh, my sweet daughter! You are the best thing that has happened to me and I couldn't wish for a better daughter."

I sighed as he ruffled my hair.

"Some men will be coming here soon, let me know as soon as they get here."

He said as he headed to his room.

Just now, he seemed like there was something he wanted to say but he was delaying it for a reason.

I don't like him feeling down, especially for something he cannot help. I know about how he has wanted to be promoted toa muchh higher position at work for a whil,ow and no matter how close he got to it, it always ended up getting taken away fromhim. Itt seemed there was an openingagain,n and he would do anything this time around to get it.

I know my dad. He has put in so much work for the company for a long time and he expected that the position automatically belonged to him.

I sighed as I heard the doorbell ring and then I went to get it. It was an old man and a middle-aged men. The middle-aged man carried a briefcase and as soon as I opened the door, they handed the briefcase to me and left without a word.

I wondered why he asked me to get him if I could receive the message for hi,m but I called him downstairs nevertheles,s and as soon as he saw the briefcase in my hand, he immediately grabbed it from me in a very frightening manner which made me wonder what the content of the bag was.

"Dad, you are acting weird."

He ignored me as he looked at the briefcase with so much pride and smiled to himself.

"Yes, my daughter. We shall never have to worry about poverty again."

"What are you talking about? Just now, you were worried that you would..."

He suddenly grabbed me by my shoulders and made me sir.

"This briefcase contains money and everything I need to become the supervisor but there is a condition that comes with it."

"What do you mean? Why does that briefcase contain money and who is it for?"

"It is for u,s my dea; welll, technicall,y it is for m,e but there is something I need to tell you. I don't know exactly how to say thi,s but you know I love you with all my hear,t and there is nothing in n this world that I won't do for you. You know how much I have suffered to get you to where you are right now and it is only right that I ask you to do something so little for me."

"What are you talking about, Dad?"

"The Blooms have decided that my most desired position is mine if I can give your hand out in marriage to their son."
